Domino Pre-School Chair Report 2021-2022
This year has been another very busy one for the setting.
We have embedded our Tapestry online learning journal and been able to share with families the exciting things that their children have been doing in the setting.
We are very proud that we responded swiftly to the recommended national changes to the EYFS curriculum and have designed a broad and balanced curriculum for the children in our setting. We sent questionnaires to parents to get their feedback about what they felt it was important for their children to learn or experience. Overwhelmingly, the feedback was that they wanted their children to regain experiences that were not possible during the Covid-19 Pandemic and subsequent lockdown measures.
We have built into our curriculum local walks and visits. We went to the Cambridge Botanical Gardens and to Hunstanton Beach. We have also focussed on children’s personal and social skills. We feel that the children who attend our setting are happy and confident.
Forest School remains an integral part of our curriculum and we offer sessions throughout the week. This builds children’s confidence, resilience, and problem- solving skills.
We have chosen a collection of key rhymes and texts that children in our setting will be familiar with by the time they leave us – supporting their communication and literacy skills. The story ambassador has established story telling sacks and resources to support immersive story telling.
We have been able to support a number of families with SEND and employed staff to work in a 1:1 capacity where necessary. We have two members of staff who are SENDCo trained.
We also offer cooking on a regular basis, with children developing their mixing, measuring and cooking skills with their key person.
It was lovely for the children moving up to Fulbourn Primary School that they were able to make transition visits and we have supported children as they make their next step up to school. We sent them up with our now legendary ‘School Cones’ and our best wishes.

Independent Examiners' Report to the Trustees of Domino Nursery School Accounts for the Year Ended
31 August 2022
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiners
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
-
It is our responsibility to: • examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of independent examiners' statement
Our examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with our examination, no material matters have come to our attention:
-
(1) which gives us cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements :
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act;
-
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
(2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
